1. Enjoy your dahlias! 💐 Dahlias really are a gorgeous flower with so much variety. Don’t focus so much on figuring out how to grow them that you forget to marvel at their beauty. 🤩
2. Don’t plant too many the first year while you’re figuring everything out. Start with a few and then add more once you’ve figured out your growing conditions. Although, watch out! Dahlia Math is real. One day you have a dozen, and the next thing you know you’re growing many dozens. 😉
3. Plant in prepared soil that drains well. 🪴Dahlia tubers don’t like sitting in water, so well draining soil is important.
4. Dahlias need at least 8 hours of sun per day, but add mulch around them to keep their “feet” cool. ☀️
5. Make a plan for watering in place from the very beginning. 💦 Once your dahlias start growing, they’ll need regular watering.
6. Cut your dahlia blooms frequently and deeply so they will produce even more blooms. ✂️ Remember that with dahlias, the more stems you cut, the more blooms your plants will give!

For those of you who have grown dahlias before, what other essential tips would you add to this list? 🧑‍🌾

We're right on the edge of the busiest part of our

We're right on the edge of the busiest part of our year at the farm. We're about to ship close to ten thousand boxes of tubers and plants, and then we're hand-planting over 5 acres of tubers and seedlings! Two things that help ground me before a season of this kind of intense work are spending uninterrupted time with our family and taking time to be creative.
The years I take time for this and "fill up my own cup" before giving out so much energy to our farm and customers, I come out on the other side of planting happier and healthier!
So this week C and I are refreshing a mural (thank you @aliceingoldchains for painting it way back in 2017! 💛🌻) #creativity and then we took advantage of a day off school to sneak away to Friday Harbor for a few nights full of oysters and kayaks and Uno and feasting (of course w/ @sanjuanislandseasalt!) and reading and just soaking each other up. #family I feel tanked up and ready to tackle the last pieces of organization so that we can move a LOT of beauty into your hands, hearts and gardens in the next few weeks! #triplewrenfarms#sharebeauty#farmingfamily

⭐️Start big and work small⭐️ We say this

⭐️Start big and work small⭐️

We say this often at the farm because it’s the best way we’ve found to make a good plan. Start with your vision, then work backwards through the details.

We talked earlier this week about your WHY for gardening and aligning your garden goals with your reason for gardening in the first place. Once you have that big picture figured out, you can start working through the details to figure out how to accomplish your goals.

If you’re growing flowers as a side hustle, figure out how many bouquets you need to sell per week, and then plan according to that. If you’re growing for pure enjoyment, figure out which dahlias make you the happiest and grow lots of those. If you’d like to make bouquets for a special occasion, plan out your color scheme and work backwards from that. 💐

👉Have you ever tried this “start big, work small” way of planning? Or do you prefer a different way to plan your garden? Let us know in the comments! 🪴

Yesterday we talked about figuring out WHY you wa

Yesterday we talked about figuring out WHY you want to garden and encouraged you to spend time thinking about your gardening goal(s).

👉The main thing I really want to challenge you with today is: don’t give in to fear. Don’t be afraid to plan or let yourself be frozen by fear of mistakes or failure or lost time or lost assets or even of investing in the wrong things!

No matter your level of experience, it’s easy to be paralyzed by fear. I am afraid of different things now than I was in the beginning, but I *still* have to push aside my fear and decide that I’m going to make a plan. I’m going to fight towards making it happen with all my might. And I’m going to deal with the problems as they come up.

⭐️Start where you are. Make an educated plan for what you want to achieve, and then march forward. ⭐️

And remember those “whys” that we talked about yesterday? Those whys are incredibly important to the planning process!
Right now, it might not feel like the most inspiring time to dig in—things might be muddy, the progress slow, and the rewards still far off. But this is the season of preparation, the time when the foundation is laid for a thriving garden. The effort you put in now—planning your space, building your soil—will make all the difference when the growing season hits full stride. Remembering the reason you are doing what you’re doing will help you to keep going when it gets difficult.

So keep going—trust the process, do the behind-the-scenes work, and know that soon, you’ll step into a season of growth, watching your efforts come to life in a way that’s worth every moment of preparation. 🪴🌱💐

This week we’re talking all about garden plannin

This week we’re talking all about garden planning!
First I want to ask: WHY are you growing a garden? 🤔

Before you start deciding what to plant in your garden and where to plant it, it’s important to step back and think about your gardening goals. Figuring out why you garden is the key to finding fulfillment in gardening.

I feel like in our culture, we talk a lot about finding a vision or clarifying mission statements for *businesses.* But on a *personal* level, I also find I get better results if I first think about why I want to do a project and then make decisions about exactly what the project will entail. I am generally more satisfied if I look at life through the lens of my WHY – my mission.

For example: if I am gardening for pleasure, for stress relief, for “flower therapy,” then I need to look at what I’ll grow through the lens of what gives me joy – not what’s the most popular, or what brings my neighbor joy.

If I have only a few hours a week to commit to my garden and my goal is to grow flowers for my home, then I need to look at how much I’ll grow through the lens of simply filling my kitchen table-vase (and maybe my neighbor’s too?!), not filling my entire backyard with a task that will eat up all my free time this summer.

Make sense?

👉So let me challenge you today – do you know your “why”? Are you plowing along doing what you’ve always done in your garden, or doing the popular thing, or doing what you think others expect of you instead of making decisions through the lens of your specific vision for your garden efforts?

It would be a gift to yourself to take an hour this week and try to refine your WHY for your garden, and then honestly look at your garden plans and decide if they match up.
🎁 Once you have your primary goals/motives, you can outline more specific steps. I will expand on this later this week, but in the meantime I encourage you to figure out your goals!

Hey friends! Let's talk about dahlia seeds. This

Hey friends! Let's talk about dahlia seeds.

This week we're starting seeds we saved because in just about 8 weeks, I want to plant them out in our field.

Dahlias have so much genetic variety that seedlings don't usually look exactly like their parent plants. They do, however, carry traits from their pollen-parent and seed-parents. This summer we're planting seed we saved from over 60 named varieties here at the farm, and I'm really looking forward to showing you what grows. 💐

Many of you will be growing those seeds too - I know because we just shipped out a LOT of packets to you this week! Thank you so much for buying seeds from Triple Wren this year. Truly, you blew us away with your support. 🥹

The past few weeks, we've been talking a lot about our amazing Novice Hybridizers, and all of them and all of our Legacy Hybridizers started their dahlias from seeds. In fact, almost* every dahlia you love started from a seed! Dahlia creators rely on seed crossings as a core piece of their creative process.

This summer here in Ferndale and also in Abbotsford, BC we're growing tons of seed saved by Steve and Sandy Boley of Birch Bay dahlias, seed from Ken Greenway of AC Dahlias, and trialing new named dahlias from Noni Morrison who makes Salish dahlias, and of course new dahlias from Paul Bloomquist. We're growing lots of Svartnäsets Nougat from Sara @fruperenn, Carpe Dahlia Sangria, Harvest, and Summer Blush from Beckie @carpedahlia, Finch's Cornman from Alex @Finchflorals, PK Bloodshot from Jess at @pkdahlias, Dawn's Early Light from Dawn @whistlingbeeflowerfarm and more too - there is going to be SO much beauty here at the farm! If you make it out to one of our Dahlia festival evenings in September, you'll be able to see all this beauty with your own eyes, but also we'll be cataloging as much as we can here on Instagram. Thank you for following along on our adventures here at Triple Wren, and keep watching to see what we grow!

Here are 3 questions we are frequently asked about

Here are 3 questions we are frequently asked about growing dahlias from seeds:🌱
Question: Do dahlia seedlings bloom the first year?
Answer: Ohhh yes! Sometimes our seedlings bloom before our tuber-planted dahlias. They will get to be the size of a full grown dahlia plant.

Question: Will these seeds grow flowers that look like the dahlias that produced the seed?
Answer: No, not usually! Dahlias have 8 sets of chromosomes, which means they have some marvelous genetic diversity. The seeds from one “mother” seed pod might make flowers which all look dramatically different from each other depending on their pollen “fathers.” You can control the outcome of pollination somewhat by hand-pollinating and physically protecting a bloom from natural pollinators and/or by only growing certain forms in your garden.

Question: Do dahlia seedlings make tubers?
Answer: Yes! Depending on their vigor, seedlings might make a small or even a huge tuber clump by the end of season. If you judge a seedling to be a “keeper,” you can harvest and store its tubers, then replant the following year to continue observing the blooms.

If you’d like to learn more about this topic, head over to our blog and type “seeds” into the search bar. (Link in bio) we’ll post some links in our Stories today too.

We’re having our annual dahlia seed sale right

We’re having our annual dahlia seed sale right now!

Have you ever thought about how your favorite dahlia varieties first grew?

Dahlias reproduce themselves in two ways.
1. They produce gorgeous flowers that can make seeds, and
2. They produce amazing tubers.

There is one huge difference between these two: The tubers will produce clones/copies of their “mother” plants, but the seeds will not.

At Triple Wren, we love growing thousands of seedlings every year. We’re looking for special “keeper” varieties, but we also enjoy the thrill of knowing we are growing dahlias that don’t exist anywhere else in the whole, wide world.

Do you grow dahlia seeds? We’re having our annual seed sale right now, and in 2024 we saved enough seed from specific seed-parents at the farm that we are offering seed from about 40 dahlia varieties alongside our amazing dahlia seed mixes.

I’m so excited about growing these seed parent-specific varieties this summer and showing you what kind of blooms we get, and I hope that you’ll grab some to grow as well so that you can create your own unique beauty!

Did you know you can grow dahlias from seed? 🌱I

Did you know you can grow dahlias from seed? 🌱It’s not the same as growing a dahlia from a tuber because each dahlia seed makes a unique dahlia. Dahlias have 8 sets of chromosomes, which means they have some marvelous genetic diversity. The seeds from one “mother” seed pod might make flowers which all look dramatically different from each other depending on their pollen “fathers.” That means it’s always an adventure to grow dahlias from seeds because you never know what you’ll end up with.

We save our own dahlia seeds each year, then plant them the next season to develop new dahlias. (If you didn’t save any dahlia seeds, don’t worry! We’re having a Dahlia Seed Sale soon! Sign up for our emails for all sale announcements.)

We start our seeds in late winter in the greenhouse, 1 seed per 4” pot. We only plant 1 seed per pot because we want to keep each new hybrid’s tubers separated from others at harvest time. After about 30 days of growth, we have beautiful seedlings with nice feeder roots. And after 65-70 days of growth, the seedlings begin to produce baby tubers. It’s the most magical thing!!! Each seed is a unique hybrid, different than any other dahlia in the world. 🌍

We plant in the field after frosty nights are done for the summer, then enjoy a bounty of new, unique blooms all summer! 💐

If we want to save a first-year seedling to grow again next season, we dig and store the tuber clumps that form. It’s such a wonderful adventure, year after year. ✨

Almost every* dahlia variety we know and love bega

Almost every* dahlia variety we know and love began as a seed in a hopeful gardener’s hand. 👋🌱

Dahlias are really rewarding to grow from seed. They’re easy to start, they bloom within a few weeks, and if you keep them harvested, they’ll bloom all summer long for you. 💐

If you’ve never tried growing dahlias from seed before, you should try this year! You never know what dahlia adventure lies just around the corner! 👩‍🌾

*Some beloved dahlias begin as “sports” of other known varieties.
